Following on from the third major public release (v1.2) of the Enhancer Software in December, we have been busy listening to feedback and preparing further updates to key components of the package.

Of course none of this would be possible without the significant hard work of the AmigaDeveloper.com Team. Two members, Broadblues and zzd10h have been working hard recently on some components which will be added to the Enhancer Software shortly.

Some great news is that TuneNet has been now updated to support Shoutcast v2 API support. The UI has been reworked under the "Internet Radio" section with a Genre Select Gadget button where users can chhose their favourite music genre and filter the radio station search results.

The large number of ever growing classes, gadgets, utilities, libraries and tools in the Enhancer Software now needs an easier and quicker way to update them. The new Updater application will hopefully solve this problem and as an added bonus it also manages and updates AMIStore purchases too!

I also see it has second tab "My Purchases" and somehow start to think: is it possible to use that "updater" tool as base, and made AmiStore of the same native interface with all that functionality step-by-step merged in ?

Also plz, don't forget to create normal change_log in next update about all components as well as create one single SDK directory in which put everything as it should be from every component. Sure that some work, but as i say before i can help you with, just write me back if you can't find time for :)

AmigaInput is system component, if you have issues then bring them up on the hyperion forum.

I can be wrong, but didn't some system components already rewriten by aeon ? If i remember right, it is Format, Clock and some of them which is out of hyperion's hands like Ringio, SFS, Partion Wizard , etc .. All of this for sure can made impression that rewriting and/or replacing system components can be expected :)

But that is not good of course to replace _any_ system components, as can make mess in end. For example replacing "format" and "clock" wasn't good idea imho as they system components still.

Clock I don't have a particular problem with, as it's just a utility. Probably they should have called it something other than Clock, but it doesn't really matter - nothing references it.

Format is potentially slightly problematic if there's an update, although I have no idea what the differences are. sound.datatype could be a big problem if the OS version gets updated, as it will either be stuck on v53 forever, or need to have all the v54 functionality, or simply be incompatible. I don't think this was a very good idea at all, unless A-eon have used the OS source code and have promised to supply Hyperion with a copy they can use for the OS after such-and-such a date.

@amigakitI don't see any documentation for "TimeGuard" in the the Enhancer package although I did find some docs for it at http://wiki.amiga.org/ and the Enhancer Installer has lines to install the TimeGuard docs.
